Except for the song "Marquee Moon", the whole album looks like any generic post-punk album that was forgotten inside an old box of cassettes in some basement...

Reading the Wikipedia article, I got the importance of the album for the movement in that time and the references of New York are nice, but the songs are just normal.

This is a great album, really. I don't have almost anything to say against it.

However, it's too long and does not have a clear "thematic" line. So, when I finished the listening session, I was a little bit tired, even after listening to some of my favorite songs.

For me this is not the best Queen, but for sure is the album that has the best songs.

This was a very pleasant experience. Normally, I didn't like any of the songwriter "solo" albums that I got on this list until now. However, this one was a very nice one.

Bruce Springsteen still sounds like "song for my parents" style, but sometimes I can enjoy it too.

very nice instrumental arranges

Except for the first song that is a hit, just basic

I believe that this is the pure definition of a very historical album that sounds "simple" or "old" because of so many things it influenced after its release.

The songs are great and the spirit is pure 90's grunge.

This is Bob Marley and I'm very happy to see it on the list.

This is not the best thing that I listened here, but for sure it fits all the characteristics of a classcial.

I appreciate seeing an album so fresh (2021) on this list. However, I didn't appreciate the album itself. :-(

Just another generic pop/hip-hop/soul.

I liked to know this new hip-hop album, but for me, it's just more of the same thing that I already know. I understand the importance of it in a historical way, but I didn't get much from it

Just another "conceptual" electronic album that means nothing at all

This is a very simple classic rock n roll album, but it deserves space on this list and deserves many merits to be what it is.

This is not a great album for our "modern" ears, but its importance transcends some "modern" rules and must be analyzed with this in mind.

This is the third "Creedence Clearwater Revival" that I listened to in this list and how this band is inconstant! There are some very good albums like this one and others are so overestimated.

In short, I liked it, but there is nothing special besides the greatest hits included in it. Definitively worths it, but the album is like the band, inconstant and unpredictable (some times very good and some times just ok)

The solo Iggy Pop's career is not my preferred and this album specifically hasn't much to say for me. However, it's still nice to see how these guys that I know as "classic rock" and "proto-punk" sound with many varieties of styles and songs and were soo much "out-of-the-box" even 40 or 50 years ago. Modern bands should learn more of this kind of thing from the old school and not just the bad things.

It's too much better than the other Wilco's album ("Being There") that I listened to on this list, but it's still a very normal and correct indie rock album and nothing more.

I didn't get all the hype on Wilco, but maybe it's me.

I liked Wu-Tang Clan's work, in a group, and also the solo productions that I know. However, this one is a very bad job.

I didn't like it at all.

Is there any possibility to give less than 5 stars to it? I don't think so...

I don't know if it's just a bad day, but I believe that I prefer much more the first albums of Aerosmith.

This one is fine, but just it.

Her voice is superb and I'm not able to do any criticism over it. It could be a crime.

The album itself is cool, but a little bit repetitive. It's, at least for me, a real document that deserves appreciation and studies over it, for many reasons. However, for an "innocent" session of good music, I believe that we have many other good albums, including some Ella Fitzgerald works.

Is this an album for white noises and ASMR aficionados?

I didn't get it, absolutely.

How this album could be a 60's/70's album and sounds so modern and fresh?

For me, it's a definition of atemporal.
